help with brake lines please

I am looking for an OEM replacement for my soft brake lines on a 78 3/4 ton 4wd crew. It has been lifted, so I want new ones about 4 inches longer. I am willing to bet that someone knows of an OEM part that will do this for less than $170 worth of SS lines. I know good brakes are safety deal, but I dont have that kind of coin right now. I dont even care whos part they are as long as I can do it without modification.

Thanks in advance, Todd

I will check superlift. I too have relocated the tabs to use stock lines. Just had not really considered it on the crew. Still like to find longer soft lines.

'Never seen longer OEM (rubber lines). Perhaps from a different application like an F-450 or higher commercial series may fit.

I know from experience that JBG has longer braided lines.
